For your next home improvement project

learn how to save thousands of dollars, find the right people to help and avoid yourself a nasty headache along the way

SCAM! That is the number one concern of home owners when they decide to hire an outside contractor to help remodel their home. You finally decide to take the plunge and invest some serious money in your home... be it for a new look, a new room, or to spruce it up for maximum resale value.

No matter what your reason for doing a renovation… you have good right to be scared.

My name is Matt Miglin and as a 3rd generation contractor I am the first to tell my clients…

….“be scared… very scared”.

Bringing in an outside party to help with your renovations is a very dangerous proposition.

You’ve heard the stories:

- over-inflated job prices that could have been done more professionally, at half the price

- fly-by-night operators that take your deposit and run like the wind

- borderline criminal trades people stomping through your house without a care for you or your possessions (some of them enjoy ‘helping themselves’ to your stuff as well)

- shoddy workmanship and defective materials that you don’t discover until a year or two later – by that time – your contractor has disappeared in the wind

What you are about to discover here will infuriate most contractors – at least those who run a shoddy operation anyhow.

My father and his father were both in this business and between the three of us, have seen it all over the past decades in business. For that reason alone, I have decided to peel back the covers and show you the inner-workings on the renovation, contractor business. So, I locked myself away for many hundreds of hours and compiled what will soon be the industry BIBLE for finding, hiring, and working with the best contractors in the business.

With over 20 years experience helping hundreds of home owners and business owner improve their homes and buildings... I’ve developed the knowledge on how to save up to 60% off many home improvement products and services.

The challenge I was faced with was how to “package” what I knew into a form that would help you… the homeowner.

What makes me qualified to share these tips?

As I mentioned earlier, I come from a family tradition of delivering top notch service and workmanship in the renovation business. Collectively, my father, grandfather and myself have 82 years of experience in this field.

Recently, I built my own home for 45% less ($135,000 less) than it would cost for a home owner to do the same work. Before remodeling in the 1980’s I was an award winning furniture builder, then became a finish carpenter and moved into general contracting to do it all.

I have regularly done over $1,000,000 in annual remodeling sales.

Just so you know I am the real deal: I have also spoken at the National Association of Home Builders Conferences and have won a coveted Best of Show and an Outstanding Award, at the North Jersey Craftsman Show.

What you will find in Home Contractor Secrets and in How to Hire the Right Contractor that it is based on experience – not book based knowledge.

This book, DVD & CD are completely original and reveals tips and techniques you will not find elsewhere.

How do I know that?

Because I bought every single one of them before starting down this path. Despite having 3 generations worth of experience to fall back on in this books development, I wanted to make sure I put together a completely unique resource. I bought them all, read through them front to back, found the areas I like – and the areas that were complete bull… and I started over.

Home Contractor Secrets and How to Hire the Right Contractor is a goldmine of practical advice

that guarantees to save you money on your project.

Pick up a copy of the book and DVD/CD. Listen to it and read through it from front to back – taking notes along the way. Apply however many of the techniques you feel are applicable to your situation (remember – the more you apply the more you save)… and then make your decision.

If after 364 days of applying these techniques, you do not feel you have saved at least 10 TIMES THE VALUE OF THIS BOOK and DVD/CD set… pick up your phone… call me back… and I will immediately refund the entire price of the book and DVD/CD set.

How is that for a solid, risk-free guarantee!

Get this… it really only takes the one technique on page 71 to save well over ten times the price of the book. That, combined with the hundred other techniques and you really cannot go wrong.

Sorry, the only way you could truly go wrong is to buy the book or DVD/CD set and not use any of the advice… I guess you wouldn’t save any money then, now would you?

A few common questions I get asked:

How do home owners save money?

There are multiple ways to save money, it requires having the knowledge of what products and services offer discounts, and how to go after them to get the biggest discount you can.

How can a home owner get contractor discounts?

You could start your own small contracting firm to get the discounts or create a family company name that you refer you and your family to (ie: the Smith Bros., or Jones & Associates or Palmer Builders, etc.)

How can you possibly save 50% on remodeling?

There is a lot of mark up on some manufactured products and if you are patient and do you research you will find great savings like that (combined with the tips on page 74 you will definitely be on track for massive savings).

It sounds impossible for a home owner save even 20%?

I have watched friends and neighbors apply these strategies and save thousands, as much as $65,000 on one job, it can be done.

What if I make mistakes or ask questions that give away I don’t know anything about construction?

Even the pros make mistakes and that’s how you learn, study what you can but as you talk more and more to suppliers and contractors you will pick up the key words, ideas and phrases that go with each job.

What do you mean I can save money and make money too with this information?

After you have made the contacts and pricing discounts then you can use that to do similar projects for your neighbors and keep the profits, they save and you make money. This is a great option not discussed in any other book I am aware of.

With that in mind, here’s the deal.

Pick up a copy of How to Hire the Right Contractor DVD & CD set and my Home Contractor Secrets book for only $47. It will be rush shipped out to your door immediately. Go through the materials from front to back, try some of the ideas out… take a whole year if you like. If you don’t feel that the information in this book has saved you (or made you) at least $470 back – let me know, return the products and I will send you an immediate refund of $47.

That truly is a fair deal… wouldn’t you agree?

If you are planning on spending thousands of dollars on your home renovations, is it not worth the miniscule investment of $47 to get the advice that will save you a fortune?

I would hope so.
